Quiet quitting and quietly finding sanity
There is this new phenomenon now. Just like we had the resignation economy and even the laying flat economy, we now have the quiet quitting economy. Truthfully, I don’t like that phrase of “quiet quitting”. To me, as a psychologist, it seems to hit on two things: satisficing […]
When everyone ignores the fire alarm
Have you noticed lately that when a fire alarm sounds, people don’t readily rush out? At least, I have. People look around to determine how other people are reacting. And, if people in some position of authority or access to knowledge, keep going about their business, everyone stays […]
Let me tell you what you can do for me
I can be just your type You can just let go And listen up You can respect me You can not gaslight the skies till they’re bright blue You can realize your tainted lens You can warm up that frozen tongue Don’t be a sheep I can be […]
There will always be more work so go on that vacation

When someone else is the bigger person
A few years back, a pretty well known individual noted “when do go low, you go high.” Or something to that effect. I remember thinking, that’s nice but not realistic. I, for one try to take the high road, most of the time. But, we are all goaded […]
You can’t fix the purposely obtuse
Some people say “you can’t fix stupid”. I don’t like that phrase because, education and information sharing can increase knowledge. What I like to point out is that you can’t fix those who remain purposely obtuse. There are those who you provide information to and who chose to […]
Find the courage to do what you love (if it’s not a nightmare)
There are many quotes, memes, and pictographs out on social media encouraging people to follow their dream. Be courageous. Be bold. Be daring. They all scream into their platform megaphone to find the courage to do what you love. I know that I personally hear some version of […]
